PCSX2 on Ubuntu

rated 0 times [ 11] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 51024 / 2 Years ago, sat, july 2, 2022, 7:40:33

PCSX2(playstation 2 emulator) won't work under Ubuntu 11.10 x64.
It worked when I was running Ubuntu 11.10 x86.

When I downloaded the pcsx2-0.9.8-r4594-linux.tar.gz I extracted it in the home directory and run the launch_pcsx2_linux.sh file, it closed immediately. When I open GNOME-terminal and typed in: ./launch_pcsx2_linux.sh I got the following error:

./pcsx2: error while loading shared libraries: libwx_baseu-2.8.so.0:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

When I type sudo apt-get install libwxbase2.8-0 it says that it is already installed.

A big plus here is, there is a Linux version of PCSX2, so we don't need to use WINE!

Installation

There are 2 ways to install pcsx2 in Ubuntu.

Manually

One just download it from the pcsx2 site, extract it in your home folder, and run the launch_pcsx2_linux.sh(X86 only). here is the pcsx2.desktop file save it in /usr/share/applications/ or in your /home/your username/.local/share/applications/. Edit the file, where it says your username change it to your actual username, and the actual path to the binary.

PPA

If that is to much of a hassle for you, The Gregory Hainaut PPA, is the official PCSX2 PPA, which supports x86 and x64 bit versions of Ubuntu. Due note that the package maintainers have stated:

PPA doesn't allow to upload package on unsupported Ubuntu. In short it
only remains LTS and latest version.

Copy past the following in your gnome-terminal

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gregory-hainaut/pcsx2.official.ppa

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install pcsx2-unstable

If the PCSX2 doesn't work for you, try the pcsx2-unstable package. One thing you need to do, when configuring PCSX2, is add BIOS files. You will get a window that asks for these BIOS files. You will need to provide legal BIOS´es yourself!

Warning without BIOS'es you can't play the games.

This video shows PCSX2 in action, in VMware, showing off the x86 version. I didn't start the game cause it didn't work well with my screen-recorder.
